Recently, Sofia Vassilieva spoke with Movieline and talked about her favorite movie scene. It’s not one of Patrica Arquette, or Jake Weber’s, or a scene from any of the movies her Medium castmates have done. Her favorite scene is from the 2006 James Franco film, Tristan + Isolde. Vassilieva says,
“You know? I’m going to be really corny. It’s Tristan + Isolde, the scene in the marketplace where they’re sneaking hand-holding. It’s so sweet, romantic, and ancient. The loss of courtship in modern days — like, people don’t court anybody anymore. There’s no beauty about it. And the sweetness and the tenderness and the way that people kind of used to court others is so beautiful, and I love themes of forbidden love and I love that can’t ever be.”
I’ve never seen the film, but I can see why that would be appealing to her. I couldn’t find the scene she was talking about it, but here’s one from Tristan + Isolde with a lot of longing stares from across the room!
I haven’t seen it, I am kind of intrigued to see if he pulled off the accent or not!
As for my favourite scene, depends on what I’m looking for. I do love the end scene of Amelie Poulain for making me feel happy. And the scene in Billy Elliot where Billy describes what dancing is to him.
Love James Franco. He is also of a Russian/Jewish origin.
